Blessing's Echo: Mitty's Second Ascension

Nanachi

Mitty has been resting more peacefully lately. Almost like she's dreaming.

Nanachi

(I wish there was more I could do for you, Mitty.)

Riko

This Fourth Layer mushroom stew will boost everyone's spirits! My mom's recipe always works.

Riko

Nanachi, you should eat something too. You've been watching over Mitty all day.

Reg

This relic might be useful for our next descent. The engravings remind me of patterns we saw on the Third Layer.

Reg

(I wonder if we'll ever understand all the Abyss's mysteries.)

Nanachi

Nnaa? Did she just move?

Nanachi

(Mitty hasn't moved voluntarily since... since that day.)

Nanachi

(That light... it's coming from inside her!)

Nanachi

Riko! Reg! Something's happening to Mitty!

Reg

Her body is changing shape... Is this some kind of Abyss force?

Reg

Nanachi, have you seen anything like this before?

Nanachi

(Just like back then... the pain... Bondrewd's voice... No, not again!)

Nanachi

It... it's like when we were changed, but... different somehow.

Riko

I'm here, Nanachi. We'll face this together, whatever happens.

Riko

Look, the light isn't harsh like the curse. It's... gentler somehow.

Reg

Her temperature is elevated but stabilizing. The energy pattern is... harmonizing.

Reg

This is different from the strain I saw when we encountered the curse.

Nanachi

(Impossible... she's becoming like me. A blessed form, not cursed!)

Nanachi

(Please be okay. Please, Mitty.)

Mitty

Nnn...

Mitty

(Where am I? This body feels... different.)

Nanachi

Mitty? Can you hear me? It's Nanachi...

Nanachi

(Please recognize me. Please be in there.)

Mitty

Na...na...chi.

Mitty

(I remember everything. The pain, the darkness... and you, always by my side.)
